Trying install the iOS 8.4 sim when two compatible Xcodes are installed doesn't seem to allow me to select it at all:

➜  ~  xcversion simulators
Xcode 6.4 (/Applications/Xcode-6.4.app)
iOS 7.1 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.1 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.2 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.3 Simulator (not installed)
Xcode 7.1 (/Applications/Xcode-7.1.app)
iOS 8.1 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.2 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.3 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.4 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 9.0 Simulator (not installed)
Xcode 7.2 (/Applications/Xcode-7.2.app)
iOS 8.1 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.2 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.3 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 8.4 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 9.0 Simulator (not installed)
iOS 9.1 Simulator (not installed)
tvOS 9.0 Simulator (not installed)

➜  ~  xcversion simulators --install=8.4
[!] More than one simulator matching 8.4 was found. Please specify the full version.
Xcode 7.1.0 (/Applications/Xcode-7.1.app)
xcode-install candidate --install=8.4.1.1435785476
Xcode 7.1.0 (/Applications/Xcode-7.1.app)
xcode-install candidate --install=8.4.1.1435785476

Specifying a full version like:

xcode-install simulators --install=8.4.1.1435785476

doesn't actually work.

I'm also wondering, now that in 7.2 betas, we now have more than just iOS, we also have tvOS 9.0 as a "legacy" simulator. Any thoughts on switching to requiring the "full" names as is displayed in Xcode, like "iOS 8.1 Simulator" or "tvOS 9.0 Simulator"?

This would make the command work like:
xcversion simulators --install='tvOS 9.0 Simulator'
